“Wonderful Class! Thank you!” – Sharing Your God Story Online NYSB Student

I can’t fully express what an honor and joy it’s been to teach the Sharing Your God Story online NYSB course this semester!

It’s been a blessing to get to glean insight from the Bible about why and how to share Jesus with others and to be able to share parts of my testimony, stories from my years of evangelism training and my years of going on five short-term missions trips to five countries and years of helping to lead evangelism outreaches.

I’m also so blessed to hear my students bravely share parts of their testimonies and to know they’re helping to lead others to Christ.

My exhorter and evangelist heart is overjoyed.

Back when I co-led an evangelism class at my previous church, I had no idea that one day I’d be teaching this new class at a Bible school.

But God knew!

Over the years, I’ve taught at a Christian school, facilitated various classes at church, and have been a Bible school instructor for 7 years.

I pray all my students are doing well.

I’m looking forward to meeting my future students.

I never saw myself as a teacher….

But God did!

As I reflect on teaching my Sharing Your God Story online course for the first time through the NYSB, I’d like to share a few Bible verses to help spur you on as you share parts of your testimony.

5 Bible verses to Encourage You to Share Your God Story:

We’re to Glorify God through Our Testimony – “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” (Revelation 12:11)

We’re Called to give a Reason for the Hope We have –“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:15)

We’re Empowered by the Holy Spirit to Speak Boldly and Lovingly About Jesus – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

We’re Christ’s Ambassadors – “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)

We’re to Keep Telling Our God Story – “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.” (Psalm 107:2-3)

BONUS The Gospel is for Everyone – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17)

If you’d like to read parts of my God Story, including how God called me to follow Him while I was in Australia, how He called me to be an evangelist while in Israel, and how I’ve seen His fingerprints across 6 continents, including in NYC, I hope you’ll grab a copy today of By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking with God Here and Abroad on Amazon.

I share insights, anecdotes and Bible verses as well as reflection questions in By Faith that you can answer solo or with your small group and there’s a chapter on living your God-given dreams.

To God be the Glory!

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8 NIV)
